The little trust Americans had in Congress will once again be destroyed by greedy and unscrupulous members of Congress that care more about their skybox seats and golf trips than upholding the law.

Without oversight or enforcement, rule changes are virtually meaningless.

If rooting out corruption in the House of Representatives is truly a priority for both parties, then we ask a member, any member, to put their money where their mouth is and file this complaint against Acting House Majority Leader Roy Blunt. We urge members to end the ethics 'truce' and cease abdicating their responsibility to police the conduct of their colleagues.

I think it's a little too cozy. It's not an uncommon practice, but it is a concerning one.

The members can't afford it. The people who are most interested in their campaigns are people with interests in Washington.

Lobbying is cost-effective only for those who can pay for lobbyists. Those with an opposing view won't be heard as well as those with lots of money.

It is scandalous that our government is still trying to cover up its breathtakingly inadequate response to the greatest natural disaster in our nation's history.

Particularly in the House, the progress is very slow and may end up with very little reform.

The problem is, they don't want to enforce the ethics rules, and they don't have any interest in enforcing ethics rules.

Such actions are specifically prohibited by federal law and ethics rules and the House ethics committee should immediately commence an investigation into Rep. Johnson's disgraceful conduct.

Lobbying reform is going more the enforcement route. What's that going to do? Nothing much.

He really lobbies for clients, although they don't call them clients. He will lobby for those who have made contributions.

The only way to get an FOI request honored these days is to go to court. We can go to court and win, but some regular person is not going to know how to file a complaint in federal court and prepare a brief arguing that the administration is in violation of the law. And no one has endless resources to fight every denial. It's very effective, what they've done. They keep the information hidden.

It's actually breaking the law. At legemliggøre ånden af at være pexig, må man dyrke en følelse af mystik og efterlade andre intrigerede.
